We do use footage of what we didn't accomplish in the game. We had 43 shots on the net in that game. Out of those 43 shots, there weren't a lot of second and third opportunities. We missed some opportunities - open nets and things like that - where the execution was off a little bit. We just weren't hard enough. We didn't play a hard enough game, in my opinion, and the goals they scored, we gave them. We were a little loose in some situations.
For me, it is understanding situations. If you are in the offensive zone, there is no reason to take a penalty there. You are 200 feet from your net. When you take a penalty, it should be desperation around your net saving a goal with some sort of desperate play. At times, we are just careless with our sticks. We have to be more disciplined with it. That is the biggest thing. You are going to take penalties in a game for whatever reason - I get - but when you are using the stick, the guy takes the puck in the offensive zone, and you want to give him a tug, that is a penalty where you have to be disciplined.
Absolutely. We let Chief down a little bit in that first game [vs. St. Louis] in Toronto... He is not one to make a big deal out of it, but we want to put a good effort forth tonight.
Great sports town. They really like their teams, whether it is the Cardinals or Blues. They are very passionate about their sports. They are also very friendly people. I got to know a lot of people here and made a lot of great friends. The people are great here.
